SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 347,610, dated August17, 1886,

Application tiled M ay 22, 1886.

To Li/'Z whom it may concern: l

Be it known that HENRI CAMUS, of St. Louis, Missouri, did invent a newand useful Improvement in Sliutter-Vorkers, of which the following isafull, clear, and exact description, reference being had to thc annexeddrawings, making part of this specification, in Which-V Figure l is aVertical section. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the linea; m of Fig.5. Fig. 3 is a vertical section iu detail. Fig. 4 is a vertical sectionon the line of the outer edge'of the window-sill. Fig. 5 is a front lelevation.

For the purpose of carrying out the invention a latch, E, is used. lThislatch extends through the sill b and is pi voted at e, enabling it to beswung horizontally.

The shutter A is provided with ahook, a., which engages with the latch Ewhen the shutter is closed. To open the shutter, then, the latch E, fromthe inner side of the room and by means of the handle e', is swungsidewise sufficiently to disengage the latch from the shutter-hook a,when the shutter can be opened. The two shutters A A may be operated bymeans of the latch E. To this end the main latch E, by means of the linke2 is'pivoted to the latch E. This last named latch is pivoted atea, andits outer end engages 'with the shutter-hook a. Then as the main latchis swung upon its pivot the latch E is also swung upon the pivot es, andboth of the shutter-hooks a a are released. A spring, e4, operates tobring the latches E E into position whenever released by the operator.

To prevent the entrance of snow into the Serial No. 203,034. (No model.)

hood F, which covers the outer end of t-he latch, thehood isprovidedwith aswingfguard, f, which, when the shutter engages with the latch,swings inward, as shown in Fig. 1, and which, when the shutter-hook isdisengaged, swings outward.

The latch E may be extended through the window-sill b similarly to thelatch E, and in that case the two latches may be worked independently.

The spring e operates iu'counectiou with the projection e5. Onepart ofthe spring'bears against the projection as the other part is moved awayfrom the projection.

The movements of the parts of the spring are indicated by the dottedlines.

What is claimed as new isl. The combination, substantially as described,of the sill b, the pivoted latch E, and the spring e andsiop e5.

2. rlhe combination, substantially as described, oi' the shutters AA,t.he hooks a a, the sill b, and the latches E E', said latches beingpivoted to the sill and united, as described. A
